Premier Jetten belde mij net. Hij gaf aan het premierschap zwaar te hebben onderschat en het vertrouwen van zijn coalitiegenoten zwaar te hebben overschat. Hij had niet langer het vertrouwen in zijn eigen kabinet. Ik gaf aan zijn eerlijkheid te waarderen. Omdat onze partijen evenveel zetels hadden behaald bij de verkiezingen, gaf de heer Jetten aan hij het premierschap aan mij te willen overdragen. We gaan om 12.00 uur samen naar de Koning om de overdracht te formaliseren. Morgen zal ik het staatsnoodrecht in laten gaan, de grenzen sluiten voor alle asielzoekers en voorbereidingen treffen voor een grote remigratie van Syriërs en anderen terug naar hun eigen thuisland. AZC’s kunnen sluiten, de dwangwet wordt ingetrokken, onze huizen worden weer van ons en van het bespaarde geld gaan we meteen de accijnzen op benzine en diesel verlagen. #PVV

Zonet op Duitse TV bij WDR journaal! In Groningen zijn van de 300 geboorde gasputten, nu 70 volgestort met beton en zouden er dus nog 230 volledig operationeel zijn! Het heeft een grote interesse bij de Duitsers omdat er door Nederland bindende overeenkomsten met Duitsland zijn gesloten voor de levering van Nederlands gas, aldus de Duitse media!? Ook in Duitsland is er een tekort in de gasvoorraad! Compenseer de Groningers heel erg royaal met de miljarden Nederlands Belastinggeld, welk geld nu in Oekraïne in het corrupte circuit terecht komt, en laat ook de Nederlandse burgers profiteren van goedkoop eigen Nederlands gas zodat er financiële lucht ontstaat bij de Nederlandse huishoudens en bedrijven! WE WORDEN BESODEMIETERD DOOR HET KABINET JETTEN, DUS DOOR D66, VVD EN CDA met volledige ondersteuning van PRO, JA21, DENK, PvdD, e.c.! @geertwilderspvv @fvdemocratie @2eKamertweets @NOS @RTLnieuws @NUnl

For years Europe claimed Russia was "blackmailing" it with energy supplies. The situation seems to be much better now

If the Diego Garcia strike report is accurate, then one of the central assumptions about Iran’s missile program has just collapsed. For years, the accepted ceiling was around 2,000 kilometers. A ballistic missile reaching Diego Garcia suggests something in the neighborhood of 4,000 kilometers, which pushes it out of the medium-range category and into the intermediate-range class (IRBM). That is a strategic leap. The real story is not whether the missile was intercepted. It is that Iran may have demonstrated reach far beyond what much of the world believed it possessed. A 4,000-kilometer capability changes the map. Major European capitals begin to enter the conversation. Paris comes into range. London moves much closer to the edge of vulnerability depending on launch point and payload. This would mean the missile threat is no longer confined to the Gulf, Israel, or parts of South Asia. It would mean the radius of deterrence, defense, and fear has expanded dramatically. If confirmed, Diego Garcia was not just a target. It was a message.

🚨 BOLTON WARNS EUROPE: THIS COULD BACKFIRE HARD John Bolton has just laid out a consequence European leaders may not have fully thought through. By dismissing Iran as “not our war”, Europe may be triggering something far bigger. Because the response from Donald Trump is predictable: “Then Ukraine isn’t our war either.” That’s the strategic risk. For years, Europe has leaned heavily on American: Military support Financial backing Security guarantees Particularly in Ukraine. But alliances are reciprocal. If Europe chooses to step back when the U.S. faces a major geopolitical confrontation… It opens the door for Washington to do the same. And that changes everything. Bolton’s warning cuts to the core of alliance politics: You don’t get to pick when solidarity applies. Because once that precedent is set… NATO cohesion fractures Support for Ukraine becomes uncertain And the entire Western alliance enters a new phase of transactional relationships Europe may think it’s avoiding escalation. But in reality, it may be inviting a strategic reset — one that leaves it far more exposed than before. The question now is whether European leaders recognise the gamble they’re making… Before the consequences arrive.

Some thoughts on the current situation with Iran: 1. Deployment prior to this week was, as I pointed out at the time, consistent with a show of force to underline a negotiating position rather than a serious operation. Although that has begun to change, US aerial forces in the Middle East remain inferior in strength to the Israeli Air Force that quickly ran out of steam in combat last year. Any air campaign would not be a step-change from that of the Twelve Days' War. 2. The departure of huge numbers of tankers to the Middle East, without concomitant massive fighter deployments, indicates that the USAF intends to base its strike aircraft out of the easy range of Iranian short-range missiles on the other side of the Middle East or even farther afield in Cyprus, Diego Garcia, etc. This will dramatically curtail sortie generation compared to aircraft flying out of Al Udied in Qatar and other bases on the Gulf - established for exactly this confrontation but now perfectly useless given the number of short-range missiles the Iranians have pointed at them. 3. USN forces in the region have a realistic total throw-weight of 300 to 400 badly out of date Tomahawk missiles, which is grossly inadequate for a sustained strike campaign against Iran. Recall that the USN fired almost eighty in a single strike against Syrian WMD targets a decade ago and most were shot down. The USN task force realistically has two or three missile salvos against defended point targets before its magazines run dry. 4. Iranian offensive and defensive capabilities are formidable and have been overtly bolstered by the Chinese in recent weeks. Any attacks on Iranian soil will need to be - as in the Twelve Days' War - conducted from a limited pool of standoff munitions. The Israelis, who are expected to join any strikes, certainly have not replenished their own stockpiles. This dramatically curtails the combat endurance of the coalition forces. 5. The Chinese and Russians are feeding intelligence to Iran. This likely allowed them to stymie a US bomber strike last month prior to latest force buildup. The Iranians can be expected to have an excellent picture of US and Israeli moves at the tactical level. 6. In the aftermath of the Twelve Days' War and the insurrection in Iran last month, Mossad's attack network is likely a spent force and cannot be expected to contribute meaningfully to the war effort. 7. Iran retains significant proxy capability across the region. Iranian proxies in Iraq and Yemen are practically untouched. Hezbollah in Lebanon sat out the Twelve Days' War but can be expected to join in a regional Götterdämmerung. 8. No significant US ground forces have deployed, and the Iranians killed or arrested all of their compradors two weeks ago. Ergo, there is no route to actual regime change in Iran. There's no Delcy Rodriguez and Vladimir Padrino interested in a coup d'etat by proxy and able to elaborately set conditions for it to happen. 9. US facilities in the Gulf and the VERY vulnerable US embassy in Iraq (and the somewhat less vulnerable US embassy in Beirut) remain un-evacuated at this time. Evacuation of those facilities is a short-notice indicator of war - as we saw last month when bombers were likely airborne before being called off. 10. The TACO trade is real. Trump talks a big game until the markets start to believe him, whereupon he reliably beats a hasty retreat and pivots to a new distraction from the Epstein Files. The moral hazard here is that Trump has done this so many times that by this point global markets don't actually take him seriously and so they're reacting late and weak to what are objectively very concerning developments. With that said oil prices are - finally - starting to rise. US deployments to the Middle East thus far are to give Trump a credible military option if he decides to use force against Iran - prior deployments were non-credible and the Iranians would have taken them as such - but talk that war is necessarily imminent or that this force is actually adequate to the absolutely colossal task at hand (Iran is a country of 90 million and a geographic fortress) is irresponsible. As ever, use strict informational hygiene and consider source bias and attempts to box in US decision-making through planted reporting from controlled outlets and journalists. Netanyahu desperately wants a war (fought by the US on his behalf, of course) but Trump probably wants a deal - and it's noteworthy that Iranian reports suggest one may be developing.

🔴⚡️China is using this map in its schools. This isn't just an ordinary school map, nor is it an innocent attempt to alter a geographical projection. What we're using in our schools is a map of consciousness before it's a map of the land. It's a tool for rearranging how the Chinese generation sees the world, who stands at its center, and who lives on its periphery. The map doesn't start at the Atlantic, as the world has for centuries, nor does it give Europe or the United States the visual center of gravity. The center here is distinctly Asian, with China at the natural heart of the scene, while Europe is pushed westward, and the Americas are relegated to the margins, as if they were distant geographical extensions rather than a cosmic axis.

Blijf van hulpverleners af! De Kamer steunt het voorstel @djhvandijk c.s. om altijd een zwaardere strafeis op te leggen bij geweld tegen hulpverleners. Hier mag niet zomaar van worden afgeweken. Een hogere straf moet de standaard norm zijn bij geweld tegen hulpverleners!

BREAKING: Bank of England told to prepare for a market crash if the United States announces Alien Life. Helen McCaw who served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK’s central bank sounded the alarm. She has now written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank’s governor, urging him to organize contingencies for the possibility that the White House may confirm we are not alone in the universe.
